Soft and creamy, these oil crayons are easily applied, blended and layered, including to large surface areas without unsightly edges. Colours can be mixed together right onto the paper without getting messy or loosing the integrity of each individual colour. Use a palette knife if you prefer to mix and apply - this can be done in thick layers for added texture and shaping (scumbling). Try Sgraffito technique, where lines and textures can be 'carved' scraping lines and shapes out using hard tools.
Oil pastels are usually used dry, but wan also be used wet, with a wet brush for a colour wash. As they are oil based they do not fully ever dry or cure and finished work should be fixed, using a glaze or fixative (try hairspray or specialty art products)
These are but a few practical suggestions to illustrate what is an incontestably modern medium, versatile, and straightforward medium for any artist to experiment with.
The current box here proposed features the original packaging first introduced in 1969, a suitably modernist presentation which has become a design classic and sentimental to many users as beloved memory from childhood.
